Bottle via reakt in trade. Nose is of gentle dark malts, chocolate bars and hot toffee. Body is acrid and bold. "For six long days and weary nights they tried to find her trail. Churchill told the people "put every ship to sail! Cause somewhere on that ocean I know she’s got to be!" Out of our exceptionally relaxed trade, this was the one I had my hopes up to arrive. As if by magic it was in the box. So to make sense of the above quote...reakt sank the Bismark. Body has just enough coffee for a biting yet gentle finish. This must be fantastic on draft. Fortunatly for me there is a direct flight to Manchester from Newark.
